The Emotional Adjustment Scale for Diabetics (EAD) and the Brown Scale (SB) were used to evaluate 60 diabetic patients. The aim of the study was to compare the clinicians' ability to diagnose the emotional maladjustment with the results of a standardized instrument. A battery of psychosocial tests was also applied. The results showed that SB has low sensibility, specificity and positive predictive value which suggests that clinicians has less ability to diagnose emotional maladjustment than a standardized instrument. The analysis of tests results helped to identify predictive variables for the results of SB (personality factors) and the results of EAD (locus of control of behavior, age, escolarity and scales D and F of the Minimult). The findings are discussed in the light of the relevant literature.
使用糖尿病患者情绪调整量表（EAD）和布朗量表（SB）对60名糖尿病患者进行评估。本研究的目的是将临床医生诊断情绪失调的能力与标准化工具的结果进行比较。还应用了一系列心理社会测试。结果表明，SB的敏感性、特异性和阳性预测值较低，这表明临床医生诊断情绪失调的能力不如标准化工具。对测试结果的分析有助于确定SB结果（人格因素）和EAD结果（行为控制点、年龄、受教育程度以及简明多重人格量表的D和F量表）的预测变量。结合相关文献对研究结果进行了讨论。
